Spot on Oldsmobile!!

1995 Oldsmobile Silhouette 3dr Minivan
When I first look at this van I didn't like it, but as time pass by i fall in love with it. We had up's and down's. i only paid 650 for it in Miami, and now I'm in San Diego. All it ask me to do is to change the old sensors (camshaft, crankshaft, oxigen sensor, and crankshaft pulley), wich are pretty easy to replace. It runs like a space machine, so silence and smooth. inside is very … comfortable. We travel from Miami to South Carolina and then all the way to California with my wife and our two dogs. Plenty of room for all of us. I higly recomend this van. Like and english man said at a campground in Cali: "Spot on Oldsmobile!!"

While the early design GM vans were
ahead of their time with aerodynamic
design, the rewards paid back in fuel
efficiency and road handling. After
10 years, I have experience no major
mechanical problems other than normal
wear. The van has transported soccer
babies, soccer kids and towed
lightweight trailers.

Not a bad van

Not a bad van. Drivability is nice, handles well, nice power from 3800 v6 engine. Have a 151,000 and have had no major problems. Just a few sensors, EGR valve, Mass Air Flow and Throttle Position Sensor. Great gas mileage for a v6! I pull well over 20 city and almost 30 hwy!

Solid van

1994 Oldsmobile Silhouette Special Edition 3dr Minivan
Bought the van brand new - after 9
years I have been very statisfied.
Zero mechanical problems - only thing
I have had to do was basic maintance
(tires, brakes, LOF etc). No
breakdowns vs. friends who had
Cavan's. The plastic / composite body
is great for Western NY winters where
Rock Salt destroys car bodies. This
car still looks great.
The dustbuster look isn't for … everyone
but the areodynamics work well to
provide pretty good gas mileage.
Power is good (180 some horses) for a
minivan.
Handling is very good for a minivan.
